Hi birthday suit!
First, I'm sorry you relapsed. That can be pretty difficult. But at least you're not starting over.
Others might be more helpful with the specific antibiotics you're taking but I can speak generally to a combined abx and herbal protocol. I'm also on IV Rocephin for Lyme and IV Vancomycin for bart. I haven't found a good herbal support for Lyme or I would also be on that (and this is a reminder that I need to start looking into that again). I was on A-bart but it was causing severe GI attacks so that's why I switched to Vanco. Eventually, my goal is to add A-bart back in. However, I am on A-babs, but low doses. And most of my detoxing is with herbs.
The following is my protocol schedule, as an example. In order to create a schedule:
- I work backwards from bedtime since I do probiotics last
- I do a binder before that, which needs specific buffers of time before and after it...
- and then before the binder I do the abx which is followed by anti fungal and detox cocktail. All this has to come before the binder buffer time.
- I do my Nystatin powder 30 min before the binder, which is OK because the Nystatin powder I use kills yeast/fungus on contact, doesn't need absorption time through the mucosal lining.
- Sequencing is important: 1) antimicrobials, then 2) antivirals/antibiofilm, then 3) antifungals then 4) detox cocktail.
- I try to put everything on a 30 min. schedule for optimal absorption and to not overload the gut.
- Other than that, I fit the rest in where I can:
7:00 Naturethroid

8:30 IMN-V-II (antiviral)
